The Emerald Edge is the largest intact coastal rainforest on earth—spanning 100 million acres across Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. To conserve this iconic land-water eco-system, The Nature Conservancy and its affiliate, Nature United, are working directly with Indigenous and local communities to put their priorities first: investing in youth, supporting Indigenous authority, building healthy economies, and helping emerging leaders achieve long-lasting conservation.
Watch this video series to hear directly from some of the people who live and work in the Emerald Edge.
